  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Lift strap

Where can i buy lift straps for rear fender for husqvarna te 310?
Or how can i made it myself?
 
Get some nylon strap, I found mine in an older bag, an unused shoulder strap. I cut to length and then used a lighter to seal up the ends. I used a steel punch, heated over the stove burner, to burn small holes into the strap. Then I used pop rivets (should have used washers with the rivets) to secure it to the bike. Pretty much free.

I have one on the front and rear of my bike. I cut some 1' section off some old tiedowns that had extra length. I then BURN the holes with a soldering iron (don't cut or attempt to drill). The burn will carterize the hole and makes a very strong bolt point.

Even on my 449 with the pop off seat, I can removed the seat easily and leave the strap in place. There are lots of options on the front - clamps or forks allow many mounting options.

I cannot tell you many times straps come in handy - when the bike is ate some odd position and you need assistance, it is SO nice to have a an easy and mud-free place to get a solid hand.

Curious how you attached yours to the rear of your 449?

Here you go - excuse the messy garage, bikes and life... Kids, work, soccer...they all seem to take a toll on what I SHOULD be doing!

The rear on the 449 was tricky at first, but I like this setup. I can take it off and measure if you want, the length I have now is perfect for function and the seat slides off easily too.

Oh, that's a really good idea.

FWIW, your garage makes mine look like a bomb went off in it. I just can't seem to keep it clean. There's always something that needs wrenching.
 
I use old seat belt strapping. It is extra thick and durable. Also easier on the hands than some other thin strapping types. Hauled my kids bikes over enough logs to know.
